Kasselakis

Theodora Tzakri submitted today at the meeting of the Central Committee the candidacy of Stefanos Kasselakis for the leadership of SYRIZA.

The nomination is accompanied by 87 signatures and his “pothen esches”.

Sources close to Kasselakis said that “a little while ago, Theodora Tzakri submitted on behalf of Stefanos Kasselakis to the party secretary Rania Sviggou his candidacy for the presidency of SYRIZA with 87 signatures, those who took the lead in the censure motion, as well as the you belong to him”.

Clash in the KE and departure of people close to Kasselakis

The meeting of the Central Committee is being held in an atmosphere of tension, which culminated when the members close to Stefanos Kasselakis left as a sign of protest.

According to information, the supporters of Stefanos Kasselakis left as, as they claim, the date of the conference was rescheduled under the pretext that there was no space, and candidate presidents in the Central Committee who have not officially filed for candidacy were invited to speak.

Speaking to the Central Committee, Mrs. Tzakri, referring to the postponement of the date of the conference, said: “Today a diversion was completed, a contemporary majority not only overturned the road map that it had voted for, but announced that not everyone will be able to attend the conference. We arrived at the conference with ZOOM, just to silence the voice of the people. So today I submitted before the committee the 87 symbolic signatures, 87 of those who overthrew him. The rest will be told at the ballot box with the solemn re-election of Kasselakis”.

Ms. Tzakri’s reference to zoom is related to information about the reduced capacity of the conference hall on November 8, as a result of which some delegates will have to participate online.

Immediately after the intervention of Theodora Tzakri, Olga Gerovasili took the podium and said that “there are no candidate presidents by representatives”.

“The conditions for submitting a candidacy are not two (signatures and proof of affiliation), but three. It is also respect for the statutory principles, values ​​and collective decisions of the party. Anyone who does not respect the democratic decisions of the majority is not talking about SYRIZA – PS but about another party. I ask Theodora Tzakri to retract the insulting and insulting things she uttered from this stage at the expense of comrades and comrades,” said Mrs. Gerovasili.

Candidacy of Nikos Faradouris

“With a sense of responsibility and respect for the collective decisions of our bodies”, as he stated, Nikolas Farandouris submitted his candidacy for the presidency of the SYRIZA PS to the Central Committee, accompanied by 34 signatures of the members of the Central Committee and his retinue.

Mr. Farandouris presented a rough outline of a 10-point program that is also his political proposal, from demographics to the operation of the market and from labor and collective labor contracts to contemporary challenges in the international and European arena.

“Unity, restraint and, above all, a sense of responsibility towards a historical faction of sacrifice and contribution must prevail.”

“There is no one left, the phenomena of division but also an excessive ego that prevailed in the previous period do not characterize our faction and my speech and my presence came to unite and not to divide, to unite and not to divide” .

Nomination of Gletsu

Apostolos Gletsos announced his candidacy for the presidency of SYRIZA PS, declaring on the sidelines of the party’s Central Committee meeting that he has collected and submitted 32 signatures (at least 30 are required).

He said that he was excited to speak for the first time at the KE and stressed, when asked about his candidacy, that “the bet is on the first Sunday to bring people to the ballot box”. “Let’s say that we are here, that we are the proud governing left, that we will again claim for the world the great majority of the world – who sat a little outside with their rights and did not come to the polling booth to vote – that we are here, we have take whatever lessons we were supposed to take, we will speak politically according to the new data of the grim reality and we will claim the vote of the Greeks against a government that rules with the Predator”.

As he mentioned in a conversation with journalists, his petition is ready – since as an elected member of the TA he submits it every year – and he will immediately submit it formally to the party’s competent bodies.
